Tang Bailing asked for a lot of information from the Bai family, all of which revolved around one person: Xun.
She vaguely felt that something had happened between Mu Zi and Zhen. Because there were so many leaders, Mu Zi only gritted his teeth against Zhen.
The identity of "Xianrentang Mu Zi" was a little embarrassing. When she ran to Bai's house and asked for information, Bai Shuyu hesitated for a long time. But thinking that Zhen was also an enemy, Mu Zi behaved very honestly during this period and gave her the information about Zhen.
There is not much information, just a few thin pages. Most of it records who he has killed over the years and his martial arts skills. There is no record of his life experience at all.
After Tang Bailing read those pages, he felt a little depressed. There was nothing obvious about it.
But then she thought: Why not start with his martial arts moves?
Thousand Feather Technique is a secret technique of the Miao Territory. The Central Plains martial arts community doesn't know much about the Miao Territory. This kind of martial arts that is close to magic is too mysterious for the Central Plains people. If you want to check it, you can only go to the Miao Territory.
But to put it simply, the Miao border is so far away and I am so dangerous now. There may be a lot of twists and turns in the trip back and forth.
Thinking of Miao Jiang, Tang Bailing was a little puzzled: she knew Mu Zi's life experience clearly, and the Mu family had no relationship with Miao Jiang, and it was impossible to have anything to do with it. Could it be that... the relationship between Mu Zi and Zhen only started after her family was exterminated?
Hua Yueying's death was a big shock to the world at that time. At that time, young men throughout the world were speculating on the hand of which this beauty died. It wasn't until she reappeared that people's speculation about her changed from "whose hands she died by" to "who was she saved by."
Yu and Mu Zi are similar in age. Could it be that Yu came to rescue him after hearing about Mu Zi's beauty? In this case, why does Mu Zi hate Zhen so much? Something must have happened in the meantime. Tang Bailing really couldn't figure it out. But then, she saw a name on those pages, the words Penaka and Naka did not seem to be the names of people from the Central Plains.
There is another person that I can't figure out, and that is Mu Zi, who is thousands of miles away.
During this season, Miao territory was cold and humid, and the dense forests were filled with miasma. Mu Zi suffered a lot along the way.
After climbing over mountains and ridges and killing countless poisonous insects, Mu Zi finally found the Miao village hidden deep in the mountains.
Although the Miao village is deep in the mountains, it is not isolated from the world. Every year, they go to the Han towns outside the mountains to exchange supplies, so they have a certain understanding of the Han world. For a Central Plains girl like Mu Zi, they did not show any Excessive curiosity. Read the book
After communicating with the Miao people, Mu Zi had an even greater headache. Both sides were talking at the same time, and neither could understand what the other was saying.
Just as he was in a hurry, a group of children came over surrounded by an old man.
The old man asked Mu Zi in unfamiliar Chinese: "Girl, are you coming to our village to do business?"
Mu Zi was glad that someone could speak Chinese and said hurriedly: "Old man, I came here to inquire about something and a person."
The old man motioned for Mu Zi to sit down under a tall cypress tree, and then the old man also sat down. The elderly people who were not working in the village gathered around. The women in the village rarely go out, and they have never seen Han women several times in their lives. Mu Zi's arrival really opened the eyes of the old ladies in Miao Village.
The old man asked: "Girl, what do you want to ask me?"
Mu Zi replied: "I want to ask about Qian Yu Shu."
The old man's expression froze in an instant, and Mu Zi hurriedly said: "I have no malice, and I don't want to learn this thing... I, a friend of mine was injured by the Thousand Feathers Technique, and the poison was very deep."
These are all made up.
The old man sighed and said, "I knew someone would always come after me. But...girl, please go back. We won't talk about this matter."
Mu Zi had already expected what the old man would say. She slowly opened her veil, revealing half of her ferocious face, and said slowly: "My face and the injuries on my body were all made by the person who knows the Thousand Feathers Technique." ’s... I’m not here to seek revenge, I just want to know who the person who hurt me is.”
It seemed that the injury on Mu Zi's face scared the Miao villagers. They were whispering around Mu Zi, but when they saw this face
Finally, there was collective silence. Some people even feel scared.
The old man seemed to understand something, and after thinking again and again, he finally started talking.
"The person who hurt you should be Dongsha, because he is the only one in the entire Miao territory who knows the Thousand Feathers Technique. This move is very difficult to learn. There are so many young people, but he is the only one who has learned it... He learned the Thousand Feathers Technique in order to kill people. "
Mu Zi asked: "I heard that there is no conflict between the Miao people of your generation and the Han people. Who does he want to kill?"
"Kill his lover."
"Lover?"
"Her lover, named Naka, is a poison master. In our place, people who cast poison will be isolated. But Dongsha fell in love with Naka, and the family objected. So Naka killed Dongsha's whole family in anger, and then ran away. , I heard that he went to the territory of the Han people. After Dongsha learned Qianyu, he left the Miao village to hunt down Naka... It has been many years and he has not come back. Girl, I know why Dongsha hurt you."
Mu Zi asked: "Why?"
"You look so much like his sister."
At this moment, Mu Zi collapsed. She thought there would be some big reason, thought it would be some top-secret conspiracy, but it turned out to be just that? Just like his sister?
Mu Zi opened her eyes wide and looked at the Miao people around her. She didn't look like she was crying, but tears kept falling from her cheeks. The wound that had already become scarred was stung by the tear stains after the tears dried. She worked hard to come to Miao territory, but she only got such a boring answer. Giving her a past that was more painful than massacring a whole family, just because she looked like his sister?
The old man looked at Mu Zi, who was in tears, and asked in a low voice: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Zi asked: "How is this guy Dongsha?"
"Before the incident happened at home, he was a very good young man. Before he chased Naka, he told us that when he arrived in the Central Plains, nothing he did would have anything to do with our village, and anything that happened would not implicate us... Girl, we I know that this child has changed and may hurt innocent people...but I advise you...forget it..."
Mu Zi said blankly: "He saved my life."
"What?"
"But it's better not to save me... In the past few years, my life has been worse than death every day. I don't know why he tortured me... I can't figure it out... If I am like his sister, shouldn't he be nice to me? Why? Are you going to torture me?"
Mu Zi's subsequent words were already talking to himself.
The old man sighed and said, "Girl, please let Dongsha go... Although we don't know how to calm your anger, if you have any requests, just ask, and we will definitely help you do it."
Mu Zi nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, I have a favor. Only you can help."
"Girl, please speak."
…
The fire in the Miao village almost set the entire mountain on fire. Fortunately, a fire break was cut around the village to prevent the flames from spreading wantonly.
Mu Zi stood in front of the blazing Miao village, staring stupidly at the flames rising into the sky.
In her hand she held a sharpened stick, stained with blood.
The fire reminded her of Qingzhou that year. It must have been like this in her own home back then, with cries, the crackling of wood being burned, and people lying on the ground covered in fire and rolling around. The difference is that last time, she was in the fire.
Purgatory on earth, nothing more than that.
Mu Zi suddenly laughed: It's too boring, all of this is too boring.
…
Tang Bailing stared blankly at the name and the address in front of the name, and had some concerns in his mind.
She opened the door and went out, came to Tan Wushuang's door, and knocked on the door.
Tan Wushuang opened the door and came out, looked at Tang Bailing in front of her, and asked, "Sister Mu, what's going on?"
"Come out with me. Where are you going?"
"Jiujiang."
…
"Are they out? Xiangnan?" Bai Shuyu frowned and asked the servant in front of him.
"Yes, I saw Miss Mu and Mr. Tan riding their horses to the south early in the morning."
"Have you ever asked him
Our concierge? Do you know where they went? "
"I asked, but the concierge didn't know either."
Chen Ling'er on the side said: "Mr. Tan's kung fu is good, and Miss Mu's martial arts is also good, so don't worry so much, right?"
Bai Shuyu said: "It's not a matter of danger or not. Mu Zi has a special status. It's best not to leave our sight at this time... Now is the moment, nothing can happen. Ling'er, please arrange a few people to follow them quietly... and then give Li Fenglan sent a letter to explain the matter clearly."
Chen Ling'er nodded and said, "Okay...but, why don't you tell Miss Jade about this?"
After all, Jade is from Xianrentang.
Bai Shuyu said: "I know, I will tell her personally."
Chen Ling'er said hurriedly: "You are so busy now, let me go talk to Miss Jade."
Bai Shuyu smiled: "I'm going to learn the sword from Jade later, I'll tell you."
Chen Ling'er opened her mouth but said nothing more.
When Bai Shuyu went to the small courtyard where Feicui lived, he happened to meet Bai Xueyan coming out of the small courtyard of Feicui. Seeing his three brothers, Bai Xueyan had a mysterious smile on his face.
Bai Shuyu asked: "Sister, why are you laughing?"
Bai Xueyan shook his head: "You're not smiling... Shuyu, come here, my sister wants to ask you something."
After saying that, he took Bai Shuyu to a place far away from the small courtyard.
"What's going on? Sister."
"How far are you with Jade?"
Bai Shuyu smiled awkwardly and said, "Not...yet...it hasn't started yet."
Bai Xueyan's smile became even brighter. She tapped her neck from her neck to her shoulders and asked, "So Jadeite was bitten by mosquitoes?"
Bai Shuyu blushed and whispered, "Maybe...it was really a mosquito bite."
Bai Xueyan patted Bai Shuyu's head, and said with a smile: "Where did the mosquitoes come from at this time? I don't know what you are thinking? Be careful, Jade is a little girl, don't let anything happen to that sword in their family." We can’t afford to offend you.”
"Sister, I understand."
…
Jade sat at the stone table, holding the storybook Bai Shuyu bought her. During this time, Jade's only pastime was reading.
She heard Bai Shuyu's footsteps walking into the courtyard, but ignored him.
Bai Shuyu said: "Jade, which section should I practice today?"
Jade didn't speak or raise her head, she just nodded.
Bai Shuyu picked up the wooden sword and started practicing. After only seven or eight moves, he threw the wooden sword away and said, "I won't practice anymore."
Jade said calmly: "You have no intention of practicing."
Bai Shuyu smiled and sat next to Jade and said, "Let me tell you something."
"Say it."
"Mu Zi and Tan Wushuang have left the Xianren Hall."
Jade turned around and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I don't know. I just know that I went south. I'll come over and tell you."
"I see."
Bai Shuyu turned around, leaned his back on the stone table, his movements were very lazy, he stretched hard, and asked: "What is your attitude towards Mu Zi?"
"Headache."
"Headache?"
"I can't kill him, I can't let him go. I have to leave him like this. In the past, Li Fenglan might have thought of ways to get Mu Zi to change his ways, but now she doesn't think so. Just do whatever you want, as long as you don't cause trouble."
"In the past six months, Li Fenglan has changed quite a lot."
"You've changed a lot."
"Have it?"
Jade sighed and said, "Aren't you very busy recently? Why do you keep running to me?"
"With my second brother and Miss Linger, I don't have to do everything myself."
Jade let out a soft "hum": "Chen Ling'er is not your family, how dare you let her do everything?"
"There are some things that only Ling'er can do. She
He has a delicate mind and can always find something from clues. "
"Now, let me tell you," Jade closed the book, "I have never asked where this Ling'er girl is from."
"Didn't I say that if you want to know, you can ask in person."
After Bai Shuyu finished speaking, he found Feicui staring at him and hurriedly changed his words: "It's not impossible for me to tell you... That was more than five years ago, when I was only fourteen years old. You may not believe it when I tell you, when I was fourteen years old , I have been to Baihualou... Don't glare at me, I really went to do something... At that time, I was trying to figure out how to run Baihualou. I had money, but I had no one I could trust. It happened that that day I I was relaxing outside the city with Mr. Qin. As you have seen Mr. Qin, he is responsible for most of the hidden piles in the house now.
"Mr. Qin thinks highly of me and always thinks that I can revitalize the Bai family. He has taught me how to deal with Jianghu affairs since I was a child. After I completed my studies, I have been thinking about how to revitalize the Bai family. I met Miss Ling'er when I was relaxing that day."
